Note: This bibliography is intended to alert HT students to the existence of some important and/or useful works for students of historical theology. I have omitted standard and older works in church history (e.g., Schaff) and reference works, since they are available in reference room of the library. This list includes both general and specialized works (e.g., Muller’’s Post-Reformation Reformed Dogmatics) which contain discussions of methodology.
